Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Ohhhhhh!

"Hey... what? Is something wrong?

Energy-class vessel 3, which was becoming framed little by little. Waltz, who was assembling that huge hull, accidentally asked Lucia, who had run over crying.

However, as a waltz, Lucia seemed somehow able to imagine why she was crying. Anyway, because Lucia was wearing an apron and it wasn't hard to imagine that she was cooking.

"Again, everyone ate my food and said it wasn't delicious and passed out!

"Oh yeah...... That's horrible...... (Did I tell you I passed out and it's not delicious?

"I don't know why I can't cook anymore?!

"I want to know that too..."

…… Oh, yeah... yeah, you did... "

"By the way, what happened to all the... lost minds?

"He's still down in the kitchen. Earlier, Enders, you fell down too..."

"(A dish that even the brave knocks down, huh... That's Lucia)"

What kind of dish can I cook to destroy the stomach of a brave man... It was a waltz that aroused my interest in Lucia's cooking, but I quickly change my mind because I couldn't cook and was suffering because I was the same.

"Did you call about Catalina?

"Yeah. That's where I look, Catalina. Instead of your sister, the hunter, Julia, everyone else and nobody else..."

"None of us...? No way?!

Waltz is attacked by fear at that moment.... I wonder if our future has been rewritten by our actions and we are all gone.

But apparently, that wasn't even the case. Catalina himself came on the spot. But somewhere in a hurry.

"Mr. Waltz!

"Ah, Catalina. You, safe--"

Waltz turns to her with a soothing look when she learns that Catalina is safe... But there, unexpectedly, I shut my mouth. Somehow there was something I couldn't ignore about Catalina's outfit.

"... Hey, Catalina. Can I ask you one thing?

"Yes?"

"You, why are you wearing underwear under your white coat?

"White coat's... ah" po

Yes, Catalina came running all the way down here in her underwear while she was cooking. Was he barely wearing a white coat because of as much shame as the last shard left......

"... Catalina? I don't care what kind of sexuality you had, but --"

"Oh, no, that's not it... it's not it! Mr. Waltz! And Lucia!

"" Huh? What? "

"I found it! What prevents us from cooking!

Until recently, just because we were talking about cooking, both Waltz and Lucia opened their eyes wide to Catalina's words. We may finally understand why we cannot cook. Must have been harder to miss hearing.

Towards those two, Catalina said.

"Cause... here it is"

What she took out of her white coat was an unadorned bangle with a rat color on it. Waltz refined the Orihalcon alloy and Catalina processed it to be an artifact made by Lucia enchanted.

"" Ko, is this...?

"I don't know why you're so familiar with it, but if you eat a dish made with this on, it somehow doesn't taste good...... no, it makes you faint!

Having heard that explanation, Lucia shows another surprise of a different colour than just before.

"Oh, no... does that mean... there's a cause for Enchant?

"Not yet, I don't know. It's just... as far as I can recall, Lucia was... no, I think we were bangling different kinds of enchants without thinking deeply. Perhaps it included an enchant that would have made it impossible to cook."

"Feeling like I don't know yet?

"Yep... The investigation is coming up. Even if we investigate it in detail, Morumoto t —— all the collaborators of the experiment have passed out..."

"" … Ah ""

Waltz and Lucia heard and guessed Catalina's words. No matter how Lucia looked around, why she couldn't find the hunters or Julia...... I realized it was in Catalina.... Yes, just as the children all fainted after eating Lucia's food, so did the adults, they all fainted after eating Catalina's food...

Nevertheless, the Waltz did not appear to have asked Catalina about the detailed situation. Anyway, I was able to imagine things so realistically that I didn't have to ask.

There's just one thing about Waltz that I really don't understand.

"I kinda believed that story..."

"" Huh?

"'Cause, look, I, I didn't bangle you, did I? I mean, you can't put it on, can you? It's a holographic body... But I can't believe I can't cook..."

…………

At this moment Lucia and Catalina looked at each other. We both arrived at an answer to why Waltz couldn't cook.

"Hmm? What?

"" ………… "" sieve

"Yes...... But maybe I was influenced by two bangles, and I'll try to cook."

With that said, it's been a while since I've cooked this evening, and Waltz starts to inflate his imagination of cooking. Lucia and Catalina, on the other hand, had a blue look because they realized something they should not realise - for example, a disaster that would descend on them in the future a little further away…
